Last night I was happy to find clear skies and Mars high enough to get a few good quality images. I used my new DMK with a 2x Barlow and my Celestron 8" SCT. I am amazed how much detail the camera captures and shows on the laptop screen. WOW! :)

I am very pleased to see that much detail with my first attempt. :D

Any suggestions welcome.

Matt :thumbsup:

Nice first effort Matt, it is a very hard target this time around.

Thanks for the kind comments. :thumbsup:

I am hoping to get a filter Wheel and filters soon for RGB imaging. Before they arrive I will have to keep practising in B/W.
